I tried very hard to talk my wife OUT of buying a wrangler for her daily driver. I am so glad I failed. It has been one of the best purchases we have ever made. More fun than our crossfire even!

**Clicks to watch Jeep review. Hears "Couldnt find the window switches". Leaves video.

I don't go off road, I can't afford one, and it makes no sense for me to get one, but I want one so bad!

True Jeeper's love them as DD! You don't buy a Jeep for gas mileage, you buy it because it's a Jeep! It's truly a lifestyle, own a Jeep a day and you'll know what I mean. Complete strangers will start waving to you in their Jeep's. You don't get that with any other brand besides HD.

You can improve the sightlines by removing the sticker from the windshield.

Wrangler reviews always kind of make me chuckle. Every one is always "This is the worst drivers car ever created, and its AWESOME!!!" Love it

I bought mine 2 days ago, just ready for the 4th of July!!! and I love it. This is my first Wrangler and it was my dream for many years; thank you for the review.

I loved my Wrangler. It could drive through anything, and I think it's the perfect daily driver in the midwest winters. It went like a snowmobile and I never had to brush off the windshield.

on my second Wrangler and I daily drive it, love it to death and love watching my GF in the passenger seat. Wrangler guys understand

My 2013 JKU has been my daily driver for 7 years now and I absolutely love it. We went for a joy ride this weekend with the top off and we could have ridden around all day. I love my Jeep.

Stay at home with mom and dad they will make your BMW payments. Let the jeepers jeep.

30 seconds in and i already like this guy lol "who cares? Jeeps are awesome" hell yes, mr.review man. hell yes.

Just competed a road trip 1,200 Miles on my JK Sahara. I drove 50mph, 75mph and 85mph and it felt good. No sluggish feelings. There were high winds with some rain but my JK was solid. I saw many road cars, suv's fly past me while i kept 21mpg to 24mpg. The Jeep is a cool vehicle with capabilities flair and safety that the suv sleds and car (go carts) don't have. I removed the freedom tops for 200 miles while i listened to the sound of the air and getting 24mpg at 60mph and that is worth more than getting 30mpg inside a bubble of metal and plastic. The Jeep also has confidence with its stance of height and safety because you are not sitting so low that an accident will cause most cars to become crushed or squashed at the life essential areas of the vehicle like roof and legs. . Most Jeepers will call my JK a non jeep compared to CJ or some jeepers will call my Sahara a prius of the Jeep family compared to the Rubicon or Sport but its my daily driver and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The Sahara is a trim level of what could be compared to car and I've added 800lbs of bumpers, winch, rock sliders and lights. Bottom line is doors don't ding my doors in parking lots they ding their door edges on my bumpers and rock sliders. I get great mileage and i can see over the cars in traffic while jamming out to the radio or the wind with the freedom tops removed. If you want a cookie cutter road sled or suv aka wagon with 2 wheel drive then buy a kia a honda or a chevy but if you want options, confidence and feeling of awesome capability on and off road then buy a jeep. Sport ,Rubicon and Sahara are all great so enjoy the feeling and know you will never have the same love for any vehicle ever again. I'm not a car lover i'm a jeep lover and its a choice to have options of roads on and off top on or off muddy, snowy rainy or sunny my jeep accepts all and achieves it with coolness and confidence!

4.0L Inline six was a fantastic motor. In an XJ that motor moves the hell out of it. It only weighed 3300 lbs in 4x4 trim.

Just bought Jeep Wrangler Overland.... when I had the test drive, I was grinning my face off from the start till the end of it. Shock! Pleasant shock! This thing is so different to anything I have ever driven in my life.... All I can say)))

My husband bought me a 2015 unlimited Sahara for Christmas, and I absolutely love it! I have wanted a jeep for years. But with 4 kids it wasn't even a possibility. So I have driven 2 vans and a few years ago bought a Dodge Durango, which we still have and love. But, with our kids getting older and 2 having their own cars I started talking about a jeep again. We talked about getting one in summer. We went and test drove one before Christmas, and I loved it! The day after Christmas my husband surprised me with my jeep. It definitely drives different than our Durango. But its a jeep!! I think I have driven the Durango once since owning the jeep. I can't wait for summer to take the top off and taking some road trips in it with my husband!!

I have a wrangler as my daily driver. My job is literally life and death. Cardiothoracic Surgery. 8 inches of snow and nothing plowed when a patient has an aortic aneurysm rupture at 230am? Not a problem. I pulled fallen trees out of the way during Hurricane Sandy with the Jeep to get through. It's not for everyone but has been the best emergency/first responder vehicle I could ever ask for.

Hipster needs a BMW X3 and a latte, then maybe he'll be happy on his way to turn in his groupon coupon to the wine tasting.

I know this is old news but like the guy who posted below, for the longest time I couldn’t afford one and wanted one SO bad (although I had a use for it). They still remain very expensive vehicles but I found a low mileage, clean as a whistle used 2013 and I am in hog heaven. Finally! ❤️

Col Warwick...I had the same exact thought! I have to say i almost didn't click the video due to the title, but I am glad I did. This was a great, honest review and I totally appreciated the WHO CARES?! Great review and I look forward to seeing more from you! Happy New Year!

I had a 2001 Wrangler and now have a 2014 as a daily driver. As long as you realize it's not a Mercedes or other luxury car, there's no problem. I've never complained about the harsh ride. I wish the fuel economy could be better, but other than that the Jeep is a great daily driver.

Love my 2014 Jeep Wrangler 2d Sport!! Live in Colorado so it is a joy to drive up and down mountains and trails!!

Good god I couldn't get past a minute listening to that guy! GO JEEP!

I travel 100.4 miles round trip everyday..... knew what I was getting into when I bought it. Simply said, IT'S A JEEP!!!!

I can afford a top of the line mercedes, bmw, audi, cadillac, whatever. I wouldn't drive anything except my two door Sahara Wrangler. Ever

The jeep experience (owning a wrangler) is really like skydiving.. it doesn't seem like the greatest idea in the world when you look at it from a distance and have never experienced it yet.. but you just have to take that first leap of faith, and once you do, you'll only want more and more. its hard to really explain to people who haven't taken that leap themselves. 200,000 miles later in my YJ, and it still hasn't gotten boring. The old girl is on her last leg but still just as fun as the day i bought it. A JK will be in my future.

I'm from Canada and the region I'm from the temperature has a variance of over 140 degrees, from near 50 below zero to sometimes 100 above. as a daily driver it works for me. secure in the winter and fun in the summer. they're one of a kind. nice vid.

I liked your review video. Just bought a 2014 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara in Anvil color. Never had a Jeep before but thought I always wanted one. I was right. I love this vehicle. Plenty of comfort and amenities plus plenty of off road capabilities. Just the right mix for me, for the road and the farm and the trail. My grandkids love it too. Thanks again for a great review!

Spot on review. Just bought my first Jeep this week. As mentioned there are a lot of negatives, but it's an iconic vehicle, and a ton of fun to drive. One thing I think you should have included that I recently found out, other Wrangler drivers will wave at you, talk to you at red lights, and sometimes follow you.

I was given an all day test drive on a new Wrangler. I was offered $2000 more than the Kelly Blue Book value for my 2001 Wrangler. I decided to go ahead and take the all day test drive. I bought it back in 45 minutes and told them to give me back my 2001 Jeep died in 2006. After seeing what the new Wrangler had to offer, I started upgrading my old Jeep Wrangler because it looks like what Jeep/Fiat is offering is junk compared to my 2001. I just installed a 4.5 inch SkyJacker suspension lift, stainless bumpers and side steps, new Supertop soft top, axle gearing at 4.11 to 1, new seats, extra headlights and off road lights, 33x12.5 R15 BF Goodrich All Terrains tires, rear disk brake conversion, and a nice 10 meter ham radio. It is way cheaper than a new car payment and I have a much better Jeep. For the record, the 4.0 liter in line six is nearly indestructible. There is no way the new V6 could be better. It is kind of sad that I bough my last Jeep at the age of 33, but there is nothing I want from Jeep past the 2006 year.

I would own nothing but a Jeep! I have had one since 1989. Upgraded a year ago from 2006 wrangler to a 2015 Tank green unlimited 6 speed . The Jeep just keeps getting better and better. They also hold their value better than 90% of the vehicles out there. Thanks for the vid!

Fair assessment Greg. The only people who have a use for a Jeep are people who take them off road. I live in Australia where we get the 2.8 Common Rail Diesel version of the Wrangler. Much better fuel consumption and much better than a petrol for the frequent creek crossings that you can get here in Tasmania. There are lots of annoying things about the Wrangler, but at the end of the day it comes down to this. You've got coil springs (not leaf) over solid axles (not independent front suspension). That is THE tried and true recipe for off-road articulation. With the demise of the Land Rover Defender, along with Nissan and Toyota's retreat to IFS for better on-road performance, that leaves you with the Jeep or the Mercedes G-wagon for the pure coil + solid axle set up. The G-wagon is over $100,000 worth of automobile. So -- at least for us non-millionaires -- when it comes to priority for off-road over on-road, the Wrangler is the last man standing. It's made for a purpose and you have to want it for the right reasons.

It is the only 4WD, 4 dr convertible for under $100k that I know of. Grab the wife, the kids, the dog, some gear and you are off... ANYWHERE. Bring it home, wash it off, its roomy and comfortable for a night out. The next day, fold down a back seat or two, toss in surfboards or other gear, take the top down, grab a friend or two, and you are off to the beach. Are there better cars for quiet or comfort or speed? Sure. Any other vehicle that does all that I mentioned? Nope. None. Keep your hard top SUVS... I'll stick with my JK Sahara Unlimited.

i'm on my 5th wrangler...i will always have one...flat out love them...

dude. i have the same jeep only i changed to a 3.5 inch lift with 35 inch tires and an extra 500 lbs in bumpers as well as the added weight of the tires. I get 17.5 to 18 mpg. it has a K&N cold air intake. your review is a bit off. i have pushed 3.5 feet of water/mud and scaled trails galore that felt near vertical. every single scratch and dent on my "Mall Crawler" i put there myself. i love my daily driver 2013 Jeep Sahara. i have beat the s**t out of it and fixed it and it Continues to be my true love affair on wheels. You know what? Screw it! I'm going Jeepin!

Great review man!! I like the fact you actually understood the Jeep and didnt test and judge it with the same parameters as a family or sports car. My wife has an 2007 and we love it.

This video really taught me a lot. Instead of buying a $150,000 Aston Martin, I think I'll buy a $40,000 Jeep. Yea, I was planning on buying a $15,000 Ford Fiesta but I think I'd much rather have a Bugatti. Flawless logic, 10/10.

Don't judge the book by its cover on your title. I was ready to blast this review, being the owner of two 2012's (3.6s, one two door, one four, one manual, one auto-respectively). And, yes, they aren't the best daily drivers, but I was glad to hear you review WHY people love their Jeeps. We take ours off road. We USE our Jeeps. And I'm glad to hear it from someone that gets that it is not a vehicle you get without the compromises. But it's worth it. Thank you!

I have 2013 wrangler sahara and absolutely love it!! I drive it every day

Manual wranglers are awesome. I have a 2015 jku manual and get 22.2 mpg average over the last 5 years. WIfe has a 2014 jk manual with lift and large tires and gets 19.5mpg. We offroad together every weekend and camp out of our jeeps all the time. Doesnt hurt that we can sell our jeeps today for nearly as much as we paid new....

If you are looking for a fuel efficient, aerodynamic vehicle, steer clear. If you are versatile and pragmatic with you income and do not have a lead foot, pick yourself up a Jeep yesterday! I have a 2006 LJ and I have an incredible amount of respect for this rig. The engine is easy(ier) to work on and parts are plentiful/less expensive. Long live the Jeep and Long live the Republic....

I don't have a fleet of cars. I need one car that does it all: 4-season commuter, city run-about, family station wagon, light duty truck, interstate touring wagon, and off road, camping and exploration vehicle. The Wrangler Unlimited does all that in a package 4 inches shorter than my previous truck: a Ford Ranger standard cab short-bed. I bought a 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Sport in late 2011, priced in the mid-twenties. This vehicle is an incredible value, often compared to vehicles costing many times more. Still, given such versatility and value, the Wrangler's FUN factor rules all. It's a playful toy truck that makes makes others seem like appliances in comparison. For those immune to fun, there are plenty of refined, expensive (and boring) alternatives.

I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport (2Dr). The 2013 with its 3.6L engine is better in fuel economy (not by much though) then 3.8L in the 2007-2011 editions. My sport has very firm shocks and I drive around 43 miles a day in Louisiana so I feel every bump on our bumpy roads. That being said, while I complain about my MPG (I am at 19mpg now doing good driving, not going above 60, breaking easy, and coasting some times as I have a manual), I would not give up my jeep as it is a jeep :). I'd have a secondary vehicle though.. like a Fiat or something lol

My parents own a wrangler unlimited Sahara and it handles like a boss! My dad hit a deer in the highway at 140-160 km and it di dint do any damage apart from the number plate falling and the bumper slightly bending

I bought a 3 year old Jeep in the mid 90s drove it every day for 3 years and sold it for $500 more than I paid for it. They hold their value like a Harley!

I really don't understand what people are talking about when they talk about how a Jeep rides. If you compare it against a luxury car or so called luxury truck you can't, it's a Jeep. I just purchased a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 10 Year Anniversary Edition and it rides excellent. It has good acceleration, it's not sluggish, and you can see good out of all windows

Great review. You weren't ragging on the Jeep, just simply being honest. My wife wants to get one of these as a commuter and I've pointed out all of the issues with that idea. Hope this puts the icing on that cake.

Right. I should have been more clear with that. I never drove a 3.8 V6 so I didn't have a solid comparison/reference. Thanks for clearing that up! -Greg

First 3 minutes of negativity and rest of the 5 minutes or more absolute positivity. You have done a good video, I am waiting for the 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Diesel. I love my Jeep, its not a drivers car, its a JEEP, its an ultimate SUV that drives you crazy, no matter what you will fall in love with it and its craziness. I love Jeep.....

I bought my 2013 wrangler sahara in June 2013, and have loved it ever since. I knew I wasn't getting a gas saver car and i'm not driving a Lincoln Mkz, so I know ride quality and drive won't be smooth, but that's ok, I've been offroading in a wrangler in Aruba and that's what made me love the wranglers even more !!!. Needless to say I do get approx. 640kms on a tank of gas so I can't complain :)

Face it man, its a jeep wrangler..barely a car as it's made to off road. I just bought a 2013 and it puts a smile on my face everytime i drive it. You either love it or hate it and I LOVE my JK!

Jeep girl for life! Loved how easy winter driving was!

The reason for you not being able to find the door switches there in the middle because you can take the doors off

Got a TJ for my daily driver, love it!

love my tj, coolest car ive ever owned

I don't know why everyone is bashing you. I KNOW you hit the nail on the head with this review. I own a 03 civic, 07 dodge dually and 11 JKU with 2.5" lift & 33's (the jeep is the worst) I also own a car shipping business and have driven just about every new vehicle since 07. I agree with you 100% that the Jeep JK is a terrible everyday driver. I think people just don't want to admit they spent $30K + on a jeep that gets 15mpg and is way underpowered. BUT, I love my JK and would never sell it!

my my, claudio's a mad boy... why do these wimpy, complainers even comment on a candid, honest approach to automotive reviews? great job -

I have an 08 Sahara 4d unlimited loaded and I absolutely love my jeep. It does everything I need it to do from every day driver to pulling my camper and kayaks to the occasional snow storm. I had no problem finding any of the controls window switches are in the middle because common sense would dictate that because the doors do come off you wouldn't want to have to worry about unplugging wires to remove them. there are very few blind spots with all the windows and with the top off pretty much no blind spots at all. as far as fuel economy it's a 4x4 truck that will pull it's own weight at 4,000lbs not only that jeep owners aren't looking to race it. I have no problems passing or getting up and moving. It's easy to park and around town just as well on back country roads and highways. IT'S A JEEP carries a lot of weight if you're a true Jeep lover.

Hit the nail on the head with this review. "It's a jeep thing, they wouldn't understand!"

Thanks, I appreciate it! Thanks for checking it out. -Greg

glad to liked that! thanks for stopping by. Greg

Your reviews are outstanding! Always a treat to watch. Keep up the good work Greg.

Just subscribed, love the reviews. That's exactly what I told my 55 year old mom after I drove her new 2014 Rubicon Unlimited with the manual trans and mud terrain tires - probably the worst commuter vehicle on the market. She commutes 80 miles a day. Whatever, she likes it.

Robert once again, I forgot to mention MPG, this jeep averages on the highway about 12.9 to 13.5 with what I mentioned on my previous post. This jeep came with many AWESOME extras, and this includes wheels. The current tire size is a LT285/65R18

The reason the window switches are in the center is so when you have the front doors off you can still operate the back door windows

I live in New Mexico...its makes the "back 40" in most other states look like the suburbs. I agree, the Wrangler is more rugged than a typical FWD...I don't quite understand what point you're making. thanks for checking it out. -Greg

thanks for sharing. Everything is my opinion of course. thanks for checking it out. -Greg

Amen brother. I just bought my JK Unlimited and I literally can't wait to get into it every chance I get. First day I had my my daughter begged me to take the doors off... which I did. What a blast. Why did I wait so long to get one???!?!!?

That 4.0 L was a beast! It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

I didn't mess with them much. But basically you have 4 Hi and 4 Lo. thanks for checking it out! -Greg

I drove a 99 Sahara around daily for 4 years, wasn't that bad..at least it was a stick. Winters were rough on the hwy with zero traction control..spun out ice one year and smashed a guard rail..sold it shortly after.

There is a god ,finally.An honest man with intelligence....no hate or hidden agendas.keep em coming my friend:)

Let me guess you drive. BMW?

I totally get his review and the way he presented it. If you want fuel economy buy a chevy sonic, nobody said beating the trails was easy on your pocket. Wranglers are for people who actually go out into the wilderness.

I agree it could use some re packaging! thanks for checking it out. -Greg

I've got a 2 door 2013 sahara! That thing kicks ass ! Can go anywhere with it!

Great testimony! Thanks for stopping by. -Greg

I own a 2012 wrangler 6 speed its a great ride smooth and hardley feel any bumps so quite u can whisper at highway speed great view with small blind spots has so much power i can take off like a rocket and and maintain speed.the fuel economy is fantastic it practical sips fuel. then you take it offroad and it can go anywhere you point it.

If they hadn't put a sub in there, I would. Sound for me is the 2nd most important thing in a car, right after the engine. And specially in a vehicle like this, so outdoor inspired, it's good to have great sound quality with the top off!

I owned a 2009 and 2012 Rubicon. The one thing that drove me up the wall with mine are the software nannies. It's a booger to completely disable the traction control. In 4L, it's off...but in 4H or 2H, it cannot be fully disabled. Otherwise, I liked mine. Might even buy another.

They certainly have their place, but there's no denying the newest Jeeps are at another level in terms of everyday comfort. thanks for checking it out! -Greg

I'm not sure where reliability is with these current gen 5 speeds. thanks for stopping by. -Greg

I average 24mpgs on the freeway and 20 in the city with stock tires with my 2014 sport s two door. good enough for me. it has the same mpgs as my 02 gmc sierra 4.8 v8. its not bad at all.

Cool! You need to get a compressor and a few other things to make it work though. thanks for checking it out! -Greg

You're review is pretty much right on. Head to head a quad cab pickup blows the WU out of the water. I owned a 1990 Wrangler for 16 years and the shitty mileage, noise, and lack of space made me really wish I would have bought a 4 banger 1990 Toyota pickup. But you buy these Wranglers because the doors/roof come off and because their cool. If you want a reliable practicable daily commute vehicle buy a civic.

I hear ya. I have a 2013 as well and I absolutely love it. When you're in it you can't wipe the grin off your face. Great vehicle!!!!!

I use to live in New Mexico. Chokecherry Canyon (one word) is right above Farmington, NM. It is where all people around that area that their 4x4. There are a lot of videos on KZfaq of 4x4 in Chokecherry. Gallup, NM is about 110 miles to the south west from Farmington. That should help everyone out. I also thought you might be up around Chokecherry.

1941-2006 Jeeps are the best. The 4.0L i6 Are Much better then 3.6L V6-P. 4.0 i6 Wrangler TJ/YJ and Cherokee XJ's Etc. will run forever and are the best And Wranglers Weren't Made For Daily Drivers until 2007. before, they were made for offroad, but you could still daily drive them. it just wasnt too practical. but thats one reason why we love them

Great review! Really liked the approach.

Besides punctuation, I see you really didn't get the video either. That was exactly my point. And lots of people DO drive them as daily drivers. Thanks for checking it out though. -Greg

I currently drive a Defender 110 and am looking to change it for one of these, as l can’t get another new Defender, plus the later ones weren’t as good. But can’t live with 14mpg so it’ll have to be the diesel

Well said, thanks for helping! (and watching) -Greg

exactly. And you're right about the Toyota too! thanks for chiming in. -Greg

Depends also what model you have, like I have the Rubicon model it's 410 gears and it has a lot of power and it's really good on the highway. But I drove the regular model and that thing was horrible on the highway and had no power at all not sure what gears had but it makes a difference

I love mine but you're ight. You have to be on your game all the time. That's what makes a Jeep a Jeep. I wouldn't want it to handle my 300c. Thanks for the video.

I purchased my 2013 sahara in june. I was looking for a good replacement for my convertible that would not be limited on space!(the old Miata was bad for hauling fishing poles and guns).im not an off roader! I told multiple friends"i probably wasted my money! I could never use all ability this thing is capable of"..lol I live in KY and have already drove thru flood waters in my city twice! better to have a jeep and not need it, than to need a jeep and not have it.Birth of a jeep head!!!

I would suggest that if you want a highway capable wrangler, simply order one with the upgraded gear ratio from jeep. I ordered a Altitude all black with the upgrade and everyone's jaw hits the floor when they feel the drive and acceleration. Not to mention its absolutely gorgeous and a off road savage. Happy so say I'm converting BMW, Toyota, Honda, etc SUV buyers to jeep. This $400 upgrade changes the wrangler dramatically.

agreed with this review100% . test drove one today, not for us. We needed a daily driver year round with snowy winters, and to do a bit of mild off road combined with towing every summer. If you really want an offroad adventure 4x4 vehicle off the lot, this is it. But its jittery vehicle on the blacktop, you don't mind the potholes at all but the thing has a tiny vibration over smooth pavement , with road noise very noticeable at speed. This is an off road vehicle ,I see many posers with this whose vehicle will never see dirt, but they probably like the roof off soft top options.

thanks for checking it out! -Greg

It's a GREAT improvement over the 3.8.. We all wished they still had the 4.0... Facts buddy facts... 3.6 is a good engine
